'What could this mean' were the thoughts going through a certain herbalist's mind while she paced back and forth in her some what large hut located not very deep within the Everfree.  Finally she said aloud with a slight sigh,

"Iv'e never heard of this riddle before, but now I must find out more".

5 hours earlier...

Zecora has been meditating for a good 5 to 10 minutes now, for it was a peaceful day in the Everfree forest....to peaceful.

All of a sudden, there came a knock on the door.  Now losing balance quickly Zecora fell to the floor off of her wooden staff with a loud CRASH!

"HAVE YOU GONE MAD!?" shouted Zecora as she rubbed her head with her forehoof while mumbling to herself, after she got up she went to the door and opened it slowly due to it being chain locked, only to have it torn off it's hinges by some unknown force! The door shattered into multiple splinters as Zecora was hurled against the wall of her hut by the force witch caused her moderate back pain. The hellish wind lasted for a good 10 seconds before actually subsiding, however when it did, a bright, sudden flash of excruciatingly bright light appeared before Zecora, blinding her momentarily, when she opened her eye's again she saw right in front of were her door used to be, a strange portal that seemed to be oddly distorted, flowing with the colors of red and..was that black?  Zecora could feel herself being pulled by a force unknown to her and...BAM, she was through the spiraling vortex!

Zecora fell to the cold, semi transparent ground the force of the impact just knocking the wind out of her body seemingly just by the sheer shock of the events that happened almost simultaneously.  She had no idea where she was after walking around and calling out to see if anypony/zebra  was there one thing was for certain, she wasn't in Equestria anymore.  Around her was empty space, stretching for what seemed like an eternity.  After shortly taking in her surroundings she spoke softly (as if to herself) to avoid the erie silence that surrounded her, "Why am I here for it is Equestria I am no where near" Zecora spoke with a slight quiver in her voice obviously shaken by the sudden turn of events.  Mere seconds after she spoke the rhyme she started to hear what sounded like a distant voice,she tried calling out again and still no answer, but soon realized it was coming from inside of her...mind.

She tried covering her ears but that didn't help at all.  The voice kept repeating something zecora couldn't make sense of at all.  To Zecora the voice sounded like Luna's 'traditional' royal canterlot voice...only it didn't, the difference between the two however could not be identified.  When the crazed voice was finally loud enough to understand, Zecora could make out the following: "I stand but I don't move, I exist but cant interact...I love chaos but I don't create it", The riddle sounded strange in a way that Zecora couldn't quite grasp. The voice was starting to get louder and started to speak faster and faster until the riddle it spoke was almost incoherent.  In a flash of blinding light, Zecora was back inside her comfortable cabin within the Everfree forest, majorly shaken by what just happened. Then a thought popped inside Zecora's mind,

"What better place to look, than inside a good book." An with that she quickly unlocked her door, stepped outside, shut the door and made her way to visit a good friend of hers living in the nearby town of Ponyville.

PresentDay, (PonyVille)...

Zecora was heading to the library which if she could remember correctly, also served as TwilightSparkle's house & the local ponyville library.  'At least no one apart from a bee is hiding from me'  zecora thought to herself still remembering the first time she visited town where everypony just galloped inside their house's in fear of her being an evil enchantress.  Without realizing she arrived at her destination she bumped into the wooden door with a soft THUMP.

"Doors open!" Twilight shouted from inside as she lay in the middle of her house reading a book as usual.  Zecora turned invisible and walked through the door, when she was through she turned back to normal.  Twilight looked from her book and turned to face the zebra just as she

turned visible again, just then and there Twilight's expression went from her usually calm look to one with surprise with a slight hint of confusion.

"Why the confused look, did you forget that I could do that based off my look?" Twilight just shook her head in response and said "I don't think you even told me you could go invisible like that, anyway do you need something?"

The herbalist just looked around the room with a look of anxiety and desperation on her face as she rushed over to a stack of what seemed like endless books... Twilight knew the look all to well.

Twilight just giggled and said "C'mon Zecora, just tell me what you need and i'll get it for you." said the unicorn in a plain tone but with a look of concern pasted on her face.  As she spoke the question Zecora seemed to come across a certain book that seemed to catch her eye that was titled 'Survival in the EverfreeForest By:NightShade'. Giving Zecora an idea she hasn't even considered.

Authors notes

NOW FOR SOME HILARITY!

Pinkie:"Hey Luna, have you ever wondered where your name came from?"

Luna:"Sometimes...but pray-tell, why ask such a thing?"

Pinkie:"Oh no reason, im just being a LUNAtic!" she said extremely excited while laughing at her own joke.

Luna:".....Tis a lie! now...TO THE MOON WITH YOU!!"

And with that PinkiePie was never heard from again for 1000 years...

Celestia:"HEY IM SUPPOSED TO DO TH-" unable to finish her sentence due to being interrupted by her now enraged sister.

Luna:"I CAME FROM THE MOON, ALL SHALL LOVE ME AND DISPAAAIIR!!"

MORAL: Don't think PrincessLuna's name is funny in anyway possible.
